mushroom 12,399 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Been feedin more of this than normal lately n must say the dogs are doin well off it especially the pup so there must be some goodness in it.. Really easy here to get both types of tripe and the dickhead loves it. The only issue is because it is so popular here to eat (like it used to be in Blighty) it's quite expensive, say about £4 a kilo. I add a couple of kilos to around 10Kg of chopped bulls hearts plus raw veggies and this is what he eats every week. plus I supplement with oily fish from the monger. I have found he prefers green tripe not sure why but he does. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dodger 2,668 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 The stuff I'm using is already minced in 1b bags from the pet shop seems ok opefully it's checked n of good quality but it's hard to tell with mince sometimes ain't it.. If pet shop selling it then should be ok I would imagine... Hope you're not paying through the roof for it though mate ??? I pay 40p for 1lb bag of fresh minced tripe, might be worth trying to source a good supplier as I would think you'll be paying way more at pet shop... It's 40p a bag mate but you only get about 300 grams in each bag n a fair old drive to get it, I get other meat from a different place that's good with a decent price but gota drive a fair bit for that aswell..

I know mate, that's why I go to suppliers in Sunderland, I can fill the freezer with everything I need for £15 and lasts about 4 - 5 weeks if not a little longer Just shows how though how much all the pet shops add on etc for fancier packaging and stuff... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Yeh 300g tripe for £4 is a joke. Could feed the dogs from a supermarket for less. Although I do get a fair bit of my dogs grub from tesco. Chicken wings, tins of sardines, weetabix, eggs, pasta etc. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nothernlite 18,028 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 That's shocking how can they justify that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,172 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 I'd be concerned if I was only feeding tripe and heart, while tripe has the correct calcium/phosphorus ratio I'd want to feed a somewhat more varied diet to a growing pup. Knew a man who reared a litter on nothing but ox tongue and heart: 3 yearlings all broke legs and it was found they had next to no calcium in their bodies Quote Link to post Share on other sites
